Please
join me in wishing the best to Dr. Martin Goldrosen, who has
retired after 16 years with NCCIH, the last 9 as Director of the
Division of Extramural Activities. Dr. Goldrosen’s contributions to the
Center and NIH, especially in
administrative oversight, grants policy and management, and peer review,
have been immeasurable. We will miss his thoughtful advice and
good judgment.

Earlier this month, I posted about the new American College of Physicians clinical practice guidelines on noninvasive treatments for low-back pain.
Clinical practice guidelines are important for many reasons, in
particular to assist in the diagnosis and health management of the
patient, but guidelines don’t always change health care. They do,
however, provide a starting point for researchers to consider how to
improve care. Researchers can use guidelines to see what gaps exist in
the evidence and identify what key research questions have yet to
be answered.

New NIH Funding Opportunity Announcements for Human-Animal Interaction Research
NCCIH is now accepting
applications for three new funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) for
research to examine: (1) the impact of Human-Animal Interaction (HAI) on typical
and atypical child development and health; (2) the evaluation of
animal-assisted intervention for children and adults with disabilities or in
need of rehabilitative services and; (3) the effects of animals on public
health, including cost effectiveness of involving animals in reducing and
preventing disease.
